go-git

一个低层和高可扩展的git客户端库用于读取来自git服务器的仓库。它采用Go从头开始开发，没有任何C依赖。

We have been following the open/close principle in its design to facilitate extensions.

go-git does not claim to be a replacement of git2go as its approach and functionality is quite different.

ok, but why? ...

At source{d} we analyze almost all the public open source contributions made to git repositories in the world.

We want to extract detailed information from each GitHub repository, which requires downloading repository packfiles and analyzing them: extracting their code, authors, dates and the languages and ecosystems they use. We are also interested in knowing who contributes to what, so we can tell top contributors from the more casual ones.

You can obtain all this information using the standard git command running over a local clone of a repository, but this simple solution does not scale well over millions of repositories: we want to avoid having local copies of the unpacked repositories in a regular file system; go-git allows us to work with an in-memory representation of repositories instead.

I see... but this is production ready?

Yes!!!, we have been using go-git at source{d} since August 2015 to analyze all GitHub public repositories (i.e. 16M of repositories).

Coming Soon

Blame support: right now we are using a forward version of a line-tracking algorithm and we are having some problems handling merges. The plan is to get merges right and change to a backward line-tracking algorithm soon.

Installation

The recommended way to install go-git is:

go get -u gopkg.in/src-d/go-git.v2/...

Examples

Basic example: retrieving the commits for a given repository:

r, err := git.NewRepository("https://github.com/src-d/go-git", nil)  if err != nil {      panic(err)  }    if err := r.Pull("origin", "refs/heads/master"); err != nil {      panic(err)  }    iter := r.Commits()  defer iter.Close()    for {      commit, err := iter.Next()      if err != nil {          if err == io.EOF {              break          }            panic(err)      }        fmt.Println(commit)  }
